Hi everyone,
I just bought a new (to me) 2006 22ve. When we did the test drive the speedometer and speedset worked flawlessly. We drove it 500 miles to my house, then on the first time out the speedo did not budge. It spent most of the day at 0, then I noticed when I was going to trailer the boat it was stuck on 8mph no matter what speed I was at. Right now in my driveway the needle is pointing to the area of 10mph, and it doesn't move when I turn the key on. Speed Set not working as well. At first I thought it might of sprung a loose connection on the trip home but now I'm not too sure.
I checked the transducer, I get 11.4 volts when I check between the red wire and the ground wire in the Airmar cable. I put my leads on the green wire and the ground wire and had my fiancé turn the paddlewheel at 1/4 turn increments and the meter reads 11v then 0v then 11v then 0v for every revolution. I double checked this right at the guage and its getting a signal there as well so therefore I can rule out the transducer.
I checked power coming into the gauge as well, there is power there, plus it sends a quick beep and the depth display works so I don't think its a power issue.
So my question is, how do you know when a gauge is faulty and needs to be replaced? Do you think this needs replacement? it seems funny that it was working a week ago and now it isn't. Does the engine have to be running for the speedometer to register? Will the needle jump back down to 0 as soon as I start the engine?
Also, does any one know how speed set gets its input? Does the green wire split and connect with the speedset separate from the speedometer, or does the speed set plug into the speedometer and get its input from the speedo?
